My guidelines for taking good photos
1.Take your cameras everywhere you go (or you might miss something)
2.Know the rules of composition so that you can break them effectively
3.Try something new ( a new film, a new angle, a new place etc)
4. It's my philosophy that thinking is important
4a.Think fast shoot fast.
4b.Think slow and take time to compose the shot
5. Sometimes it's fine to let the shot pass by and just appreciate the moment
6. It's important to throw the rules to the wind on occasion
7. This one I'm borrowing from the impossible project "be the first one to do it
